Among the locals in your issue OF yesterday Is a
statement that had Withdrawn the charges
preferred against Dr. Smith TOwnshend, the Dis
LrSct health officer. This Is mistake. / have
rot fthdrawn the charges. but merely withdrew
the papers from the files OF the Office OF the Com
lniSsioners, uhey having declined 10 investigate
he charges) in order 10 file them elsewhere with
me hope Of securing fair and impartial invest1-
:ratiOa OF the health officer of this district.
